"Are you saying that you want to allow that princess Annan to obtain a patriarchal status" Yang Minghuan's eyes widened, staring at Du Yande's face tightly, "Old Du, don't joke, as I said at the beginning, the patriarchal status will only be reduced because it cannot be granted, and it will definitely not increase, and this is a very bad precedent, if the patriarchal status is increased, how can we explain the particularity of the patriarchal identity to the natives in the future"

The enemy is far away, and the cool skills of the ghost gang are sealed

"Veteran identity" Du Yande chuckled, "Actually, the identity of the patriarch is not unusual, basically they all crossed over with us, and even the personnel on the anti-smuggling boat that didn't cross with us, we also gave us the status of veteran." If you want to say www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", those border armed police should not have the status of veterans. ”

"That's not what you said," Xiao Jing on the side coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, "Although the comrades who accidentally crossed on the anti-smuggling boat said that they didn't come from the same boat as us, they are all trained in military specialties, or they are from the north and south of the motherland, and at worst they are young people with modern education, and at worst they know that π is equal to 314. If it was really a group of math ancestors like Xu Guangqi, they would be able to say that they would be willing to bow down here. The biggest difference between the patriarchs and the natives is that thanks to the cramming education of the old time and space, the knowledge of the old time and space mastered by the elders is relatively rich, and it is no less than a treasure trove of knowledge. This is the result of the accumulation of knowledge over the next few hundred years, and now, the best among the indigenous people is not as good as the level of ordinary elementary and junior high school students in the old time and space. The greatest significance of the patriarch lies in this, announcing the counterattack of our old time and space on this time and space and the crushing of knowledge level. ”

"To put it bluntly, it is crushed by black technology," Zhang Yuan added with a smile on the side, "That's true, the identity of the senator is actually the silk of the old time and space, but uniting together to travel to this time and space can make the Senate the most powerful force in this time and space, this is knowledge changes fate, so the identity of the senator cannot be granted at will, even if it is to be granted, this must at least be voted on by the plenary meeting, at least it must be voted on by the ministerial meeting." ”

"But I also have a sentence to say that in the front, the identity of the patriarch actually does not stop there," Du Yande shook his head and said no, "The main reason why I convened all the executive committee members to come here for a meeting is because of the forces behind Princess Ji, and we must first analyze what Princess Ji represents." ”

Du Yande stood up from one end of the dining table as he spoke, and waved his right hand to the south, "To the south of our, is Zhancheng Port, with vast fertile fields and excellent rice seeds, which is almost an inexhaustible granary. A few months ago, it was plundered by the southern barbarians, and now it is just in time for the coup d'état in Annam, so the entire former fertile land outside the port of Champa has now been shelved and abandoned, if we can justifiably take over the port of Champa and obtain the resources and trade channels of the port of Champa, we can establish a city circle of the port of the east and the port of Champang, not only the land needed for industrial development, but also the agricultural reclamation does not need to be as overstretched as it is now, and the land area is too small. ”

"At the same time," Du Yande said as he laid out a few bowls on the dining table and built them with chopsticks, "we are now in the north of the Yancun Industrial Zone, and now there are a large number of industrial and mining plants in production, but this place is too close to the Wu Dynasty, if the Wu Dynasty begins to make up its mind to expel us, then tens of thousands of troops must be from the Beihai South, during which hundreds of miles down, the first thing to encounter them must be the Yancun Industrial Zone." ”

"Industry is different from agriculture and commerce, agriculture can grab food, commerce can move shops and assets, but industrial equipment cannot be relocated, especially with the huge smelting equipment of steel plants, there is no possibility of relocation at all." Du Yande nodded on the northernmost bowl, "The only solution is to build a fortress on the main road north of the Yancun Industrial Zone to prevent the Wu Dynasty army from moving south to destroy the Yancun Industrial Zone." ”

"Yes, this is a solution, but do we still have anyone to carry out this project, and our army is not very sufficient," Yang Minghuan asked.

"Yes, our army now has more than 600 troops, but according to the expansion plan adopted before, it will be expanded to about 1,200 people; At this time, the navy already had 1,100 officers and men, which seems to be a large number, but it is not enough to carry 300 officers and men on each Victory-class battleship, and it is still necessary to expand the size of the navy; Not to mention the Marine Corps, each victory level needs to carry one hundred and twenty marines for hand-to-hand combat or landing operations, so their three companies of three hundred or so people are simply not enough, now Wu Di and Xue Ziliang" Du Yande said while nodding to Wu Di and Xue Ziliang who were sitting not far away, "These two often come to me to ask for the expansion of the Marine Corps. ”

"That's right, the army is about to expand to the size of 1,200 people, and our Marine Corps is equally important," Xue Ziliang hurriedly added on the side, "The main operations and areas where the army is stationed are field operations, and the main area that the Marine Corps needs is amphibious operations in complex terrain, and at the same time, it is also necessary to protect important functional units, or deploy on warships to provide melee protection for warships, more than 300 people are definitely not enough." Often, as soon as the Victory went to sea, it had to gnaw away one-third of the total number of marines, and as a result, no matter what it did, the number of people was stretched and insufficient. ”

"Yes," Wu Di hurriedly added, "The Marine Corps often has to undertake more important tasks than the Army, and the losses in battle are much higher than those of the Army, and more than 300 people are definitely not enough, not to mention that there is only one Victory on the horse, and there are still three battleships in the Victory class that need to be repaired and refitted, once all of them are repaired, our Marine Corps will not be able to take out enough personnel to arm these three warships." Therefore, the Marine Corps needs to be expanded to at least about 1,200 to 1,500 men to meet the needs. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Besides, there is another branch of the army that has been completely eliminated in the old time and space, that is, cavalry, Comrade He Yue has now formed a cavalry brigade, but this so-called brigade is still an empty shelf, Old Man He is always short of manpower, and the number of appearances in the Executive Committee has become more and more frequent during this time." ”

"The total number of our naturalized citizens is about 11,000, but we need to include the number of soldiers who are in service, who cannot participate in production, who need to occupy and consume materials and funds in the port of Vostochny, and we need to provide them with considerable equipment." Du Yande said with his hands outstretched, "I also want to give the army enough people to expand the army, but the problem is here, the army has expanded, and there are more people who can't create value for Dongfang Port." Let's calculate, if all the expansion plans are completed, we need ten companies of the Army, ten companies of the Marine Corps, and 1,500 sailors, and the Air Force, although the number is very small now, but it also needs about 120 people in a company, so a total of at least 4,000 people are needed to meet the needs of service, and we now have a total of naturalized people," Du Yande said and shrugged his shoulders, "The total number of people is only about 11,000, and if the expansion of the army is satisfied, we can only have about 6,000 naturalized people left to put into production." The remaining sixty percent of the naturalized people must not only use their work to meet the needs of the more than 4,000 troops in terms of equipment, food, and clothing, but also meet the material needs of the elders. It's very unfair."

"So what do you suggest" Yang Minghuan knew that the reason why Du Yande said these questions so tricky must be to pave the way for the launch of his solution, so he asked directly.

"My suggestion is to grant Princess Ji the status of an honorary patriarch." Du Yande said, "The honorary senator just said that accepting her as a member of the senate will take on the obligations of the senate and can enjoy the benefits of the senator, but she does not have the political rights of the senator, in other words, she has no voting rights, and her honorary senatorial status can be inherited, but if there is disloyalty to the senate, we can withdraw it at our discretion." ”

"What do you say have to do with the identity of the patriarch," Sun Wenbin began to feel that his mind couldn't turn around. "Isn't it okay at all?"

"You are wrong, it has a lot to do with it," Du Yande corrected him, "Princess Ji used to store a large amount of silver in the Senate treasury as the Champa Port Development Fund when she was recalled to Hue from Champa Port, and it was completely held in custody. In addition, she has the ownership of Champa and the jurisdiction of all the inhabitants of Champang, and if we can accept her as an honorary patriarch, then we will be able to use this money justifiably, and at the same time we can recruit workers from the refugees of Champa to devote themselves to industrial and agricultural production."

"Wait a minute, how much money do you say the Zhanchenggang Development Fund has," Zhang Yuan suddenly interjected on the side.

"170,000 taels," Shui Wangtai on the side didn't leave after dinner, and stayed aside to listen to the "canteen executive committee meeting", "We have counted these funds, and the fineness of these silvers is quite good, even after re-smelting, there are still about 163,000 taels, and then after equipping the new army or something, there are still about 120,000 taels of silver." ”

The participants couldn't help but gasp, and someone next to them asked, "Shui Wangtai, how much is the total amount of funds in our Senate?"

Shui Wangtai sighed lightly and said, "That is, more than 100,000, the highest is not more than 140,000, and the most important thing at the moment is that these 140,000 also include the funds needed for the current large-scale infrastructure construction of Dongfang Port, which is not enough at all." ”

"Look at what I said," Du Yande's eyebrows fluttered, and he put a smug smile on his face like a weasel who had successfully attacked the chicken coop, "At the moment, what we lack is not only people, but also a lot of money." Once the princess has become a senator, then we can justifiably carry out a large-scale purification work among the refugees in Champa to prevent the breeding of parasites and the outbreak of plague. There is a more important thing at the moment, and that is the army. ”

Several veterans of the military department who were listening next to him suddenly became interested, and stared at Du Yande one by one, "The new army now has a scale of about 1,000 people, and since they are trained by instructors sent by the Senate, they only need to do some adaptability training to be able to become the Senate's army immediately, and they only need to be equipped with better weapons and equipment, and they can be put into battle immediately." Their appearance can quickly meet the shortage of manpower in the army. ”

"Then do they also enjoy the benefits of the army?" asked an army veteran on the side, "if they enjoy the benefits of the army, then it is better to be selected from our naturalized people." ”

"Of course not," Yang Minghuan was already beginning to know what Du Yande wanted to say, "I think what Executive Committee Du wants to say is that this army can be added to our military structure as a foreign legion, and after the expiration of the service period, we can obtain the status of naturalized citizens, so that before the expiration of the service period, we can use an army that is well-trained and can be quickly put into battle." ”

"And what about the pension," the senator continued.

Sun Di is not reluctant to test the most ghostly skills

Sun Wenbin heard the flavor at this time, and couldn't help but nod and say, "We can discuss the pension, because if they die, at most they can only posthumously recognize the title of Senate Hero and reward a part of the money." If we don't die in battle and come back from the army in good spirits, we can still harvest a retired naturalized citizen who obeys the orders of the Senate, which is very valuable to us. ”

"Because the pension is not high, we can use the Foreign Legion in foreign warfare in large quantities," said Duyande, "Of course, the Foreign Legion does not mean that it is a consumable product, we not only need to send officers to command the Foreign Legion, but also charge and even take the lead with them, and the creed of the French Foreign Legion is also the legion that we also want to inherit, that is, my family." ”

"Then I can already vote in favor of granting the princess the status of a senator," Xiao Jing said, "She can provide almost everything we need at this stage, so there is nothing great about granting a state of absence to vote." ”

"Yes, I think it can be granted as well." Several of the elders who were listening couldn't help but nod in agreement, Yang Minghuan looked around at the surrounding elders, "After all, this matter is still a major matter related to all the elders, I don't think it's appropriate to discuss it after eating in the cafeteria, let's hold a hearing in a few days." When the time comes, all the elders who are willing to participate will be allowed to vote. ”

"Can't do it," Du Yande couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, "Where do you plan to open the hearing, the Great Hall of the Senate is now divided into small houses, and if you want to hold a meeting, you have to make room." There's no meeting room in the Executive Committee building now, isn't it?"

"Just spread here" A bold voice came from the side, "Now it's bigger than the place, where can it be bigger than the canteen" Everyone followed the prestige, Tang Shuai was holding a rag in his hand and wiping it on the table while smiling and saying, "Come to the canteen hall for a meeting, I won't charge you for the venue." ”
